I know there's a ton of movies out for Evangelion, and as I'm almost finished the TV series I'm interested in starting them.

I've been told to skip Death & Rebirth as it's a rehash of the TV series, watch End of Evangelion for a 'true' ending, skip Revival as it's Death & Rebirth + EoE, and start watching the Rebuild movies.

I tried searching Madman for End of Evangelion, but nothing comes up - was End of Evangelion ever released in Australia, and if so by whom? I can't find any details about it.

i have death and rebirth...
didnt understand it and was driven crazy by the endless popping up of words love the 5 min intermission haha funny
but i really want to see End of eva
there WAS a copy in my local borders but i dissapeared when i was about to buy it

Doesn't look like an official release... unless you want a bootleg, I wouldn't buy this._________________He would stare at empty chairs

Its not in production anymore, so it can't be ordered in._________________He would stare at empty chairs

i got d&r and eoe in a red boxset from sanity if im not mistaken.
sometimes u still see the with older releases like the old anime legends box might be worth a try anyway._________________Even if their eyes are scorched.Even if their arms are writhing, they will never stop marching head,guided by the will'o the wisp.They will will their way and shoot at point-blak distance,the footsteps that have thrown life away, the trigger that brings death.,the 901 Anti-Tank-Trooper.

I might start looking around a few local places then, hopefully a Sanity someplace will have something. If all else fails I might try out Amazon, although it looks like I'd be paying a ton for a single disc.

Sanity is a good place to look to try to find some of the harder to get sets as they often have anime put in a little section that you barely notice, they unwrap the dvd's and usually their prices are fairly high compared to elsewhere thus putting a lot of people off buying from there in the first place.
The best bet would be to look for an original Madman release in good condition on Ebay or a quality 2nd hand dvd/record/cd store (such as Dixon's in Victoria). I'm in the same boat as you, am trying to find the EoE boxset to complete my R4 Eva collection.

SBS seems to have changed - Is it just me?

I agree, ABC2 seems to be the place to watch anime these days although SBS during the 90's was fantastic as it introduced many people to anime with the series they aired.

Borders would also be a decent place, their anime is expensive as. I've seen $40 for single DVD's so its a good place to look for harder to find titles, I got my End of Eva from their and an Elfen lied boxset. They also had the original Cowboy Bebop box brand new there too but it's gone now, it was like $130 though.

I have been scouring the Earth for a Region 4 copy also. I have even checked places like Myer, K-Mart, Sanity, HMV, Target and so on - Because they will usually have stock that has been there, hidden away for a very long time.

Copies of The End of Evangelion used to be in abundance. I purchased the Platinum DVD collection of the series when that was released but I was always short on funds to purchase the movie whenever the opportunity arose.

They still hold the license for the series... but it was made mention on these boards somewhere that they no longer hold the license for the movies._________________He would stare at empty chairs

Manga used to hold the licence to Death and Rebirth and EoE in the US, but recently its come to light that they no longer have it, which is good news for all Eva fans because it could see a new release of the movies and the remastered versions._________________I live here: EvaGeeks.org

So some remastered editions like the Platinum collection of the TV series exists? Awesome. I might hold out for a potential release then rather than try to hunt down existing copies.

On my next trip up to Sydney I might try and hunt down a Borders store regardless, just to try my luck.

The films were remastered in Japan the same time the series was, we got Platinum from ADV, but we never saw the release of the remastered films because Manga are lazy. So now they no longer hold the licence, hope is in sight._________________I live here: EvaGeeks.org

Another thing I just though of just then is that maybe when all of the rebuild's are done these being 1.0,2.0,3.0 and 4.0 they may decide to male the movies. It is just a thought._________________When you kiss you like too...

Just wondering if you have a link to an article somewhere that shows they lost the license? I've done some searching around and everything I've found indicates that they still have it.

We're not supposed to talk about selling on the boards... why don't you go on Ebay and see prices the people on there are selling them for._________________He would stare at empty chairs
